Halfway through the meal, the elders toned down their eating habits considerably, finally no longer resembling pig demons.
Song Chen asked at the opportune moment:
"Ancestor Demon Crow, where is the Heavenly Demon Egg you mentioned?"
Mo Wu wiped his mouth and explained:
"Of the three thousand Heavenly Demon Eggs, 2,996 were left after the four of us, and we divided them equally among ourselves."
My Heavenly Demon Egg is now hidden in the deepest part of the Demon Palace. I don't know much about their Heavenly Demon Eggs.
Mo Yue, who was engrossed in her meal, looked up and added:
"We are not usually together; instead, we reside in our own demon palaces."
There are four Demon Palaces, arranged in the order of east, west, south, and north, located on the edge of the Demon Realm.
The journey from the academy to the Demon Palace is long, and I happen to be carrying my Heavenly Demon Egg with me at the moment.
"Mr. Song, would you like to take a look?"
Upon hearing this, the other three demon elders looked at Mo Yue with expressions of horror.
"What? You brought the Heavenly Demon Egg out?"
Mo Yue is usually a very normal and organized person, but he can make stupid mistakes from time to time. This time, he even brought out the Heavenly Demon Egg!
Mo Yue smiled:
"It's alright. Even if something goes wrong with me, you still have your Heavenly Demon Egg."
Other demon ancestors: "..."
Hearing this, Song Chen became interested. He put down his chopsticks and smiled:
"Now that Ancestor Demon Moon has brought the Heavenly Demon Egg, I can take a look at it now."
Mo Yue nodded, waved his hand, and five large white eggs appeared out of thin air on the Eight Immortals table.
These five eggs are about half a meter long, with porcelain white shells without any patterns.
Song Chen measured it with his palm, and with both arms wrapped around it, he could just hold the big white egg in his arms.
He asked curiously:
"Ancestor, when the Heavenly Demon in this Heavenly Demon Egg was first born, was it in an infant state?"
Mo Yue nodded, then tossed out a jade slip.
"Yes, the Heavenly Demon Clan members are born looking like humans who are eight months old."
This jade slip contains records of the birth of our generation of Heavenly Demons.
Song Chen curiously took the jade slip, channeled spiritual energy into it, and finally held it close to his forehead, closing his eyes.
After a while, he opened his eyes, barely suppressing a laugh, and handed the jade slip to Zhao Ziyi.
Inside this jade slip are four eggshells and four chubby babies with red hair.
Judging from their facial features, one can already connect the four chubby children with the four current demon ancestors.
The jade slip also contains records of the demonic energy and magical power of the four of them at birth.
There are three thousand demons, each with their own abilities.
The top five most powerful figures were all great beings who stirred up the winds and clouds in the primordial era when the world was created.
The Demon God of Power, according to legend, single-handedly held the earth in place, preventing it from colliding with the heavens.
The Time Demon God: Legend has it that time is a flowing river, and this river is guarded by the Time Demon God.
The Space Demon God: Though the world is vast, all things exist inexhaustible. Legend has it that storage items are gifts from the Space Demon God to cultivators.
In the primordial era, when time stood still, all the naturally born gods lived to be ten thousand years old. However, life was hard for humans. So, the God of Longevity used his own power to grant life to humans. The higher a human's cultivation level, the longer they lived, and those who ascended to immortality could achieve it.
The God of Life: Legend has it that with the God of Life, all things and races came into being.
There was once a question that puzzled everyone: which came first, the chicken or the egg?
The God of Life, born with the laws of life, concluded that the egg came first.
The Heavenly Demon Clan are all born from Heavenly Demon Eggs.
The Heavenly Demon Egg will appear out of nowhere in the location with the densest demonic energy on the continent.
When a celestial demon falls, the celestial demon egg, carrying his power, will re-condense in the location where demonic energy is most concentrated.
Recalling the contents of the jade slip, Song Chen became even more curious about the Demon Clan.
Why have these three thousand Heavenly Demons continued to exist?
The four Wujiang Moon-Treading Ancestors are the only remaining Heavenly Demons in the world.
Their abilities were mediocre, and they had no titles; they were already the worst among the Heavenly Demons.
Without his help, would the Heavenly Demon Clan have been wiped out?
Song Chen placed his palm on a large white egg and tapped it rhythmically.
"Ancestor Demon Crow, I have a question. Can you distinguish the abilities of these Heavenly Demon Eggs?"
Mowu sighed and nodded, saying:
"They can be separated because the spiritual energy in the world is insufficient. Throughout history, the demon race has only dared to hatch the lower-ranking Heavenly Demon eggs. Otherwise, even if they give their all, they will not be able to hatch a new generation of Heavenly Demons."
It is precisely because we can distinguish them that we realize that the spiritual energy in the world is constantly dissipating.
The five great demon ancestors have not appeared since the end of the primordial era, and no one knows how long has passed.
Those renowned ancestors, due to insufficient spiritual energy in heaven and earth, have not been born for millions of years.
Song Chen asked seriously:
"Then what do I need to do to hatch the Heavenly Demon Egg?"
Mowu chuckled:
"I really enjoy the food you make; it has a unique, primordial flavor. I think the Heavenly Demon Egg would like it too."
Spiritual energy is scarce in the world now, and chaotic energy is even rarer.
The remaining chaotic energy on the True Treasure Continent is all within the territory of the Azure Phoenix, which requires venturing into the void and hunting spirit beasts to obtain. Even after obtaining the chaotic energy, one must refine it oneself, risking qi deviation.
So now, the only person we can turn to for help is you, Boss Song!
Song Chen was somewhat confused upon hearing this:
"Humans eat because they have mouths, but how are we supposed to eat this demon egg?"
The Demon Crow was also stunned. Right, how does the Heavenly Demon Egg eat?
At this moment, Mo Yue took out a spirit stone the size of a fingernail from her storage bag and placed it next to the large white egg.
After a few breaths, the spiritual energy in the spirit stone disappeared, turning into powder and drifting away in the wind.
Demon Moon said:
"Boss Song, look, this Heavenly Demon Egg can automatically absorb objects with spiritual energy in the surrounding area."
When placed in a storage bag, it must be kept separate from the spirit stone.
So I think it would be better to just put this demon egg in your pot and stew it.
The dish made with the Demon Egg was just the right amount, and we could finish it all without wasting any.
Upon hearing this, Song Chen almost lost his smile. These Heavenly Demon Ancestors actually wanted an extra meal, didn't they?
Zhao Ziyi's lips twitched as he listened, and he explained:
“Ancestor, the fire that Song Chen uses to cook is not an ordinary flame, but a spiritual fire, which is extremely hot.”
Furthermore, just a few months ago, Song Chen fused five more spiritual flames, and now the flame temperature is extremely high; even a fourth-tier spiritual beast will be cooked through in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.
The Demon Crow Ancestor waved his hand and said:
"It's alright, it's alright. The shell of the Heavenly Demon Egg is exceptionally tough and won't be easily damaged."
Moreover, how high can the temperature of water get?
If the demon eggs find the pot too hot, they might even hatch first!
Mo Yue, standing nearby, egged him on, saying:
"After we finish eating, we can give it a try. Don't worry, Mr. Song, we still have a batch of Heavenly Demon Eggs at home. It won't matter if they're overcooked."
"If you think this is feasible, then let's go wash the Demon Egg now. It's eaten a lot of junk food and is quite filthy; we don't want it to contaminate the vegetables!"
Mowu nodded:
"Boss Song, how big is your pot? Let us see how many eggs we need to wash."
